Arne Slot wants to be the new Liverpool boss and negotiations with Feyenoord are underway.

"It's no secret that I want to go to Liverpool," he said, via Fabrizio Romano, ahead of Feyenoord's 3-1 win over Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie.

Xabi Alonso would have been ideal and Rúben Amorim seemed a good fit, but Slot appears to be the chosen one.

As talks continue over a compensation package to seal the deal, Liverpool fans will want to know what Slot is like as a coach.

That will all be very welcome.

But there is one element of the Liverpool team at the moment that seems in obvious need of an uptick.

Given the five senior attacking options that Liverpool has —Mohamed Salah, Luis Díaz, Darwin Núñez, Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo — the lack of goals recently and the dismal levels of finishing are almost unexplainable.

Between them, they have scored 45 times for Liverpool this season, but only 25 of those goals have been in the Premier League.

And it is not like there haven't been chances.

Fixing that bizarre juxtaposition has to be Slot's immediate priority, with all five senior Liverpool forwards having all somehow gone off the boil at the same time.
